Do they need to be 3D? Surely 2D would be enough, like the guys that jump out of the enemy trucks in IL2. The IL2 running truckers don't seem to cause any framerate problem at all. Looking out of the side of the cockpit from at least a few hundred feet and 100mph or so absolute detail isn't important.

It is new technology by one maker with no industry standard yet. To tie an upcoming sim line to that is a crap shootYou skimmed my 'hooks into Aegeia' slightly-info post Neal please give it up mate or I'll start again Ming

It is the ones who would be walking on air that would be the problems

Awesome pics!
Any history on the place? How the heck did they come up with so many awesome aircraft?

Copterdrvr, Here's a page from the Classic Fighters 2005 Souvenir Handbook (which btw features a few of PC777 photos in it), and gives a bit of the Omaka Aerodrome history: I don't think the guys from Classic Fighters will mind me including this above scan, and again, to access their excellent online website link here: http://www.classicfighters.co.nz

I must be missing something here. Are all of the a/c replicas or just the Bristol?

The WWI Mecca still has to be Rhinebeck, New York. It is worth the journey to see an Alby D.V.a and a Sopwith Camel in a mock dogfight.... http://www.oldrhinebeck.org/collection_airplane.htm
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

There are no known surviving original Fokker Dr.1 Triplanes in the world today. See this excellent site on Dr.1’s. http://www.fokkerdr1.com/ There are very few original WW1 survivors anywhere still kept flying. The Sopwith Camel at Omaka has many original parts including the engine, however it is also a replica. I was also wondering which one of you guys bid on this? http://www.vintageaerofabrics.com/auction/index.htm Also although I can’t find the original eBay entry, here is an article relating to an Original Sopwith Camel that came on the market recently. http://www.bornrich.org/entry/original-sopwith-camel-up-for-sale-on-ebay Here is an add for it: http://www.vintageaviation.net/Original%20Sopwith%20Camel.htm I have a link somewhere with more detailed information about it, I will post it if I can find it soon. Now I wonder how long before we can get a USB caster oil blowing device for the PC to get that extra realism from this upcoming sim…. Old Rhinbeck sure is something, I think considering the population of NZ they have not done a bad effort. PC

I want that DR.I replica....$82,00(1) would be a steal!!! Here's the "original" Sopwith Camel eBay advert (I just had to save this one to my Photobucket album when I saw it)! There really wasn't much left of the original Camel to start the restoration process from, but they did have the airframe's serial plate. (so it's claimed as an original restoration and not called a replica) Hey, the USAF has hosted WWI Fly-ins at Wright-Patterson airfield in Dayton, Ohio every two years recently...... http://www.pigstompers.net/fly-in/fly-in.htm Here's some I took in 2003:

Gee, I guess this will shoot the "we don't have any idea about the real FM for this era" guys right in the nads.
Looks to me they'll have a crapload of "real" performance numbers to start with.
